and row seemed Imminent To make matters
worse, the agents became intoxicated, and at
tempted TO avoid any discussion With the lab0rerS
and TO drive them into quarters In an old hat shop
in Dodd street, where a gang OF Italians had been
housed. The colored men did not like the quarters
and were dissatisfied with the rations OF meat and
corn meal provided by the contractor. Fearing Q
riot. the contractor called the police from Orange

sent TO the scene. The colored men had sensible
leaders. who said there would be no row; but the
police had plenty to do IN protecting the drunken
agents from the wrath OF the crowd or men ana
boys which gathered and excited the ire OF the
three fuddled men. They finally persuaded the
colored men to stay In the barracks until today.

Nearly All the Saloons Closed Yesterday
THIRSTY CITIZENS EXHAUST THE STOCKS OF LIQUID
REFRESHMENTS IN SUBURBAN BAR-RooMs.
During Saturday and Saturday night the police
made ninety-0ne arrests, a large number OF them
being for intOxicatiOn. Yesterday and last night
there were only twenty-four arrests, and only one
was for fntoxication. The strict enforcement OF
the law had the effect OF closing, for the first time
inimany years, q number Of downtown saloons
where eating and drinking bars are connected. The
police say that fewer saloons were open yesterday
than there have been on Sundays In many years,
and they are well satisfied with the result OF their
efforts to suppress the Sunday liquor trafhc. The
drinkers who did not supply their wants saturday
night and were unable to get liquor in the city
yesterday visited neighbOr1ng villages In Mary
land and Virginia, where their wants were sup
piled. In one village the drinkers from this city
the saloons dry and those who paid late visits
were unable to get anything to drink. A number
of grocery stores and other places OF business
were closed, in order that the proprietors might
not be bothered next Sunday by their customers,
and sell at the risk OF being fined. Some persons
closed their places because they did not under
stand that the order Of the Commissioners did not
60 into effect until next Sunday.

wholesale Arrests OF Employees OF the
Panhandle Railroad.
PrT1SBURG, April 1.-THE most important ar
rests ever made in this part OF the country were
begun this morning. They will not be completed
before late this afternoon, and at that time the
officers OF the Panhandle Railroad win have In
custody the most daring gang OF railroad robbers
this country has ever known. How many mem-
berS belong to IL are not known, but they run up
into the hundreds Their StealingS extended over
aperiod of two or three years and the amount
stolen reaches nearly half a million OF dollars.
Simultaneous arrests were made all along the line
OF the Panhandle Road between here and Colum-
bus. Warrants have been In the hands OF officers
for some time, and the persons arrested will conn.,
prise nearly the entire freightmen OF the line.
They include the conductors, brakesmen, engi-
neers, and nremen. The nngieaders of the gang
are outside the railroad business. are known, and
some OF them are now believed 10 be under arrest
The first arrests were made about . O'Clock this
morning, the police surprising eighteen men at
their boarding houses. The men were taken at
once to the Jail. Further arrests were made be-
all railroad employees, conductors, brakesmen, tire
men, and engineers, were behind the bars.
WHAT RAILROAD OFFICIAL SAYS.
In speaking OF the arrests, an officer or the Pan
Systematically robbed. cars on sidings and in
moving trains were broken open and goods stolen.
It Is estimated that at least 100000 worth OF
goods were taken, for which the company had 10
pay. In August last we got clue. Detectives
followed it up, and finally We got the information
upon which to proceed. When everything was
ready we decided tomake move all along the line.
About eighty warrants issued for men in Pitts
burg. Icannot tell who the men are under arrest,
or who the ringleaders are. This much will say,
however: We suspect outsiders Of being implicated
in the robberies, but know nothing positive"
A CHARGE OF MURDER.
Among those arrested was q man named Baker,
against whom there are thirty-eight charges.
Early one morning some months ago at sheridan
Station, near this city, 4 train was stopped for
water An attack was made on the crew and In
the night the fireman was shot he afterwards
died from his injuries. AT daybreak IL was found
that two cars had been broken open and their con-
tents stolen. Baker is accused OF firing the shot
that killed the fireman, and this is understood to
be one OF the thirty-eight charges against him.
